Why do
people insist on walking all the way past the long queue on their
right (ie those queuing to just stand) and then at the last moment,
they
just stop and try to force their way into this queue thus abruptly
halting
all the 'escalator walker' people like myself, on the left??! ...
and making the already, unmotivated, grumpy people on the right even
more
happy!
Leesie comments:
Agreed. And what's so goddamn
difficult about getting off an escalator?
Interruption: For you
non-Londoners, protocol on the Underground here is to STAND on the
RIGHT of the escalator so that normal people who can walk can get
past you on the LEFT.
Back to my point. You know
those people who walk up the left hand side, but then have cerebral
blowout when the escalator nears the end of it cycle and stop dead
in order to calculate how they are going to manage to step off a
stair moving at about 0.5km/h on to a piece of land that is not? You
know 'em? Well I'm often tempted to belt them in the back of the
head when they break my rhythm.
I'm not even going to start
talking about those people who stand on those walkway things they
have in airports and at Waterloo station. Have they ever taken a
look at themselves as they stand there chugging along at a pace that
wouldn't cause a tortoise to break a sweat. It goes from being
ridiculous to hilarious when you see them HOLDING ON TO THE MOVING
HANDRAIL!
